“Packed with garden-fresh veggies, this ‘vitamin soup’ goes with just about any grilled meat, fish or fowl,” Leah Lyon of Ada, Oklahoma notes. “Carrots and fire-roasted tomatoes add great color, but the variations are almost endless. Just toss in whatever you have in the garden or fridge!”

Ranchero Soup Recipe
  • Prep: 40 min. + standing Cook: 15 min.
  • Yield: 8 Servings
40 15 55

Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, quartered
  • 3 celery ribs
  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise
  • 1 large sweet red pepper, quartered and seeded
  • 1 poblano pepper, quartered and seeded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth
  • 1 cup frozen sliced carrots
  • 1 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

Directions

  • Brush the onion, celery, zucchini and peppers with oil. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack. Grill vegetables, uncovered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 7-8 minutes on each side or until tender (pepper skins will char).
  • Immediately place peppers in a bowl; cover and let stand for 15-20 minutes. Peel off and discard charred skin. Coarsely chop grilled vegetables.
  • In a large saucepan, combine the tomatoes, broth and carrots. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Stir in grilled vegetables, rice and lemon-pepper; heat through. Yield: 8 servings (2-1/2 quarts).

Editor's Note: Wear disposable gloves when cutting hot peppers; the oils can burn skin. Avoid touching your face.
